Begin by gluing the
wing braces to the
bottom of the
deck.
The braces are all
double thickness
and the centre
brace is reinforced
on both sides with
plywood.
The centre brace
fits in the rear of
the provided slot.
Photo 2
Glue the vertical
and horizontal
formers in place on
top of deck.
Photo 3
Glue the fuselage
sides in place.
Bend the deck
down so that it
ends just below
the middle of the
nose.
This provides
space for the
battery to slide
forward is needed.

Fuselage sides
fitted, bottom
view.
Photo 5
Chamfer the nose
former edges to fit
and glue in place.
Photo 6
Use 6x6mm strips
of crap foam to
reinforce the
upper corners of
the tail.
Glue the tail
former in place,
just rearwards of
the bend in the
deck.
Photo 7
Install the 6mm
diameter carbon
rods and the
ailerons in the two
wing halves.
Photo 8
Insert the two
wing halves in the
slots and epoxy to
the wing braces.
Check for proper
alignment before
epoxy sets.
Photo 9
Glue the lower
wing braces in
position.
Again, these are
double thickness
and the centre
brace is reinforced
with plywood on
both sides.
Photo 10
Cut out the tail
parts.
Install the carbon
strip and elevator
in the horizontal
stabilizer (carbon
strip on bottom,
hinge tape on
top).
Install the rudder
in the vertical tail
(hinge tape on
right hand side).
Photo 11
Glue the left and
right hand sides of
the vertical tail to
the centre.
The side with the
extra servo cut-
out goes on the
right (not clear in
this picture).
Sand the leading
edges of all tail
parts round before
continuing.
Photo 12
Install the elevator
and rudder servos
and run the servo
leads down the
cavity in the
vertical tail.
Make sure the
rudder servo horn
is centred before
installing the
servo.
Photo 13
Glue the top of the
fin to the
horizontal
stabilizer.
Photo 14
Complete the tail
assembly and then
glue to the
fuselage.
Photo 15
Fit servo lead
extensions and
route to
electronics
compartment. 12
extensions should
be sufficient,
depending on
servo lead length.
Reinforce all the
bottom fuselage
edges with 6x6mm
strips of scrap
foam.
Photo 16
Cut holes for the
aileron servos and
fit in position.
Route servo leads
to electronics bay.
Photo 17
Glue the fuselage
nose and tail
bottoms in place.
Photo 18
Install control
horns and linkages.
This photo shows
the rudder set-up.
Photo 19
Elevator control
linkages.
Photo 20
Aileron control
linkages.
Photo 21
Build the motor
mount box,
starting from the
bottom.
Photo 22
Once the foam
parts are glued
together, sand
square and epoxy
the plywood motor
mount in position.
Drill holes for the
mounting screws.
Photo 23
Reinforce all the
top edges of the
fuselage with
6x6mm scrap foam
strips.
Glue motor mount
box in position,
(make sure it
mounted
squarely).
Fit motor and all
electronics, also
battery Velcro.
Photo 24
Glue the fuselage
top in place.
Sand the nose
square then glue
the stack of nose
parts in place.
Sand the nose and
top corners of the
fuselage round.
Cut out the hatch
and fit in position.
Photo 25
Build the wing
floats and glue in
position.
Waterproofing:
Seal joints with
epoxy/micro-
balloon mixture.
Waterproof servos
by sealing cases
with epoxy. Seal
servo horns with
grease/Vaseline.
Fill cavity around
rudders servo
horn with
grease/Vaseline.
Control set-up:
Elevator:
Up/Down travel: As much as possible without touching fin/rudder.
Exponential: 50% (Reduce sensitivity)
Rudder:
Left/Right travel: As much as possible without binding.
Exponential: 30% (Reduce sensitivity)
Ailerons:
(Measured at the wing root).
Up travel: 22mm
Down travel: 13mm
Exponential: 30% (Reduce sensitivity)
Centre of gravity:
Balance on carbon wing spar.
